Not saying this is your problem, but this is too high of a setting for a boost fooler. The MAP will only read 25 max and that’s about the defuel point I believe. Your boost fooler should be set to around 22psi.

OK, I will do that. With the regulator mounted under the hood I set/test it using compressed air.

With the Super Chip set to stock the truck is a drag to drive with notably less power throughout the range. I'll set it to stock, make the run again and see what happens with regards to boost and ICP.
It could be a tired HPOP. I had one gradually make less and less PSI until it would get down to 1100psi with sustained throttle. I literally got passed by an old VW bus going up the mountain one day...

Is it possible I'm looking at a bad MAP sensor?
You said you have an ICP code and the truck makes up to 25psi of boost, right?
Low ICP is either tuning (return to stock), injectors (air test) or HPOP (deadhead test).
on edit: low fuel pressure can also tank ICP. Check FP using water drain valve, 5/16” ID hose and any cheap 100psi gauge. Make hose long enough you can see it while driving. Open valve to see (pre-filter) fuel pressure.
This needs to be done anyway, but I see more and more failed FPR’s these days...

Yes, truck will make up to around 25 PSI boost at WOT but it falls off to 20 or so at that point.
FPR rebuilt and replaced the fuel pump when I did the Hutch and Harpoon mods a couple months ago. Idle fuel pressure went from 40 PSI to 65, and hard acceleration from 30 PSI to about 50.
It's what the PO put in the truck. I'd like a Hydra.

It would be really odd if IPR DC doesn’t go higher than that with WOT for longer than a few secs if ICP is dropping.....
That is for just a short 3-8 second WOT run. There isn't enough room in my local area for more without risk. Next time I'm out of the highway I'll give it a longer run.
Is there risk of damage with sustained WOT after the SES light comes on?
I was under the impression they are supposed to read up to 65%. On my edge Insight it will show up to that (okay 64.8 to be exact) if I keep the throttle pinned on a long pull. IPR valves are common trouble spots. Never been an issue on mine but that's the rumor.

I wasn’t trying to hurt your feelings about the tunes, they are just infamous for high IPR DC and other ‘quirks’.
I suspect DC will be maxed out under sustained WOT. It can say 90% or more, but 65% or so is ‘maxed out’.

My feelings aren't hurt, a guy's got to go a lot further to make that happen; lots of Dodge guys in my area...
I knew Super Chips was crap one week after I bought the truck and looked it up. Truck runs better with that chip in it than stock.
Next money spent on it will be for fuel and HPOP pressure gauges, then likely a Hydra. However, this spring I need to remove the bed and perform rust abatement on the frame, so I need to get a beater to drive while the truck's laid up.
